I created an Activity
that has a title and a web view in a LinearLayout
. In the onResume()
method it calls webView.loadUrl(url)
. The problem is that the activity first shows the title with the rest of the screen blank, then the device browser is launched with the page for the URL. What I want to see is the page being shown in the WebView
below the title. What could be the problem?
Edit: Ok, did some further search and found this one:
Clicking URLs opens default browser
It points to the WebView
tutorial here.
Just implement the web client and set it.

My problem ended up being that I needed to do a clearHistory before I could switch between sites without opening an external browser.
@Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
webView_.clearHistory();
super.onPageFinished(webView_, url);
}

I just found out that it depends on the formatting of the URL:
My code just uses
webview.loadUrl(url)
no need to set
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient())
at least in my case. Maybe that's useful for some of you.

If you're using webChromeClient I'll suggest you to use webChromeClient and webViewClient together. because webChromeClient does not provides shouldOverrideUrlLoading. It is okay to use both.
webview.webViewClient = WebViewClient()
webview.webChromeClient = Callback()
private inner class Callback : WebChromeClient() {
override fun onProgressChanged(view: WebView?, newProgress: Int) {
super.onProgressChanged(view, newProgress)
if (newProgress == 0) {
progressBar.visibility = View.VISIBLE
} else if (newProgress == 100) {
progressBar.visibility = View.GONE
}
}
}

If you see an empty page, enable JavaScript.
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
WebSettings webSettings = webView.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webSettings.setDomStorageEnabled(true);
webView.loadUrl(url);

Try this code...
private void startWebView(String url) {
//Create new webview Client to show progress dialog
//When opening a url or click on link
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
ProgressDialog progressDialog;
//If you will not use this method url links are opeen in new brower not in webview
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
//Show loader on url load
public void onLoadResource (final WebView view, String url) {
if (progressDialog == null) {
// in standard case YourActivity.this
progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(view.getContext());
progressDialog.setMessage("Loading...");
progressDialog.show();
}
}
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
try{
if (progressDialog.isShowing()) {
progressDialog.dismiss();
progressDialog = null;
}
}catch(Exception exception){
exception.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
// Javascript inabled on webview
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
// Other webview options
/*
webView.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
webView.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
webView.setScrollBarStyle(WebView.SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY);
webView.setScrollbarFadingEnabled(false);
webView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
*/
/*
String summary = "<html><body>You scored <b>192</b> points.</body></html>";
webview.loadData(summary, "text/html", null);
*/
//Load url in webview
webView.loadUrl(url);
}

I was facing the same problem and I found the solution Android's official Documentation about WebView
Here is my onCreateView()
method and here i used two methods to open the urls
Method 1 is opening url in Browser and
Method 2 is opening url in your desired WebView.
And I am using Method 2 for my Application and this is my code:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private WebView myWebView;
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_webpage_detail, container, false);
// Show the dummy content as text in a TextView.
if (mItem != null) {
/* Method : 1
This following line is working fine BUT when we click the menu item then it opens the URL in BROWSER not in WebView */
//((WebView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.detail_area)).loadUrl(mItem.url);
// Method : 2
myWebView = (WebView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.detail_area); // get your WebView form your xml file
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient()); // set the WebViewClient
myWebView.loadUrl(mItem.url); // Load your desired url
}
return rootView;
} }

Answering my question based on the suggestions from Maudicus and Hit.
Check the WebView tutorial here. Just implement the web client and set it before loadUrl. The simplest way is:
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
For more advanced processing for the web content, consider the ChromeClient.

Simply Answer you can use like this
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
WebView webView = new WebView(this);
setContentView(webView);
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
webView.loadUrl("http://www.google.com");
}
}

Make your Activity like this.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
WebView browser;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// find the WebView by name in the main.xml of step 2
browser=(WebView)findViewById(R.id.wvwMain);
// Enable javascript
browser.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
// Set WebView client
browser.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());
browser.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
});
// Load the webpage
browser.loadUrl("http://google.com/");
}
}

setContentView(R.layout.activity_dedline);
WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
myWebView.loadUrl("https://google.com");
